The beautiful 1.5 acre Tampa Florida Island is a private island located in the Alafia River, about 8 miles from Downtown Tampa, FL. Undeveloped, the island is about 800 feet long and 150 feet wide at the widest point. The property is covered with gorgeous tropical flora such as palm trees, oaks and mangroves, with sandy beaches lining the edges. Imagine owning your own private island with expansive 360 degree waterfront views, total privacy and about 2000 feet of waterfront.

An ideal plan would be to build a 2 story house on top of 14 foot pilings, with wraparound decks, a dock, swimming pool, cabana and a beach area. Build a great dock for your boats, jet skis and kayaks. Enjoy fishing from your private beach and drive your boat to the marina which is about 300 yards away.....and get in your car to drive to the store and Downtown Tampa, which is less than 15 minutes away.

Directions: The island is located about 200 yards East of the Highway 41 bridge that goes over the Alafia River. It is in Gibsonton, Fl about 60 miles from Orlando.

One of the island's best features is the highly convenient location, less than 15 minutes from the downtown of Tampa, Florida, a metropolitan area of over 1,500,000 people. This is the only island where you literally could go from your island to your car at the marina and drive into the center of a city full of high rise buildings...in less than 20 minutes.

Tampa Bay Island is in a transitional neighborhood that has both million dollar new houses together with older ones, a prime area for development with growing potential. One member of the neighbourhood said the nearby marina sold for about $7,000,000 last year. The island is located by the Port of Tampa where there are a lot of boatyard and industrial uses. It is not crowded like most of Tampa so there is no traffic going to work, till the last mile. Other people who make a 10 mile commute to the center of Tampa have to spend 45 minutes or an hour to get to work.

If you are interested in viewing the island, you can rent a boat or kayaks at the nearby marina and the agent can give you a tour of the island.

The owner and agent will consider any offer in writing that includes an earnest money check that is deposited in escrow.
